No.1 Bodyguard

Chapter 53 The Situation of the Royal Family

There's still an hour before the birthday party.

But the parking lot next to the palace was already filled with luxury cars, the empire 's economy developed rapidly, Previous luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi have become more and more commonplace, Countless executives had long targeted higher-end brands. Cadillac, Bentley, Maybach and Rolls-Royce, the world's top luxury brands, had become new darlings. No matter how high-end private jets and private yachts were, it was often inconvenient. Therefore, a car that was enough to attract people's attention could also reflect the owner's face.

Occasionally, relatively low-key models would appear in a large number of luxury cars, However, the license plates weren't low-key at all. Nine Continents City was the place with the densest political atmosphere in the Empire. Every seemingly ordinary car had a license plate number that was learned. These seemingly simple letters and numbers divided everyone into two classes. The former could run through red lights and speed in the Nine Continents City without fear, without stopping, without restraint, and without restraint.

Of course, the latter is also possible, but the former is called the performance of official duties, while the latter is called violation of the rules, and points are deducted from the fine.

"It will definitely be very lively today. Let's not go directly to the hall. Let's go find the princess first. We can go to the hall at the beginning of the banquet. Yi, Shui Mo, Xiao Bai, Governor Lin and Governor Bai's cars are parked together. Let's park next to them."

Chen Qingyu smiled and pointed to the two old Audi A6Ls parked side by side not far ahead. The two cars were inconspicuous in luxury cars, but they had the license plates of Wuyue Province and Nanyue Province's Beijing Office hanging on them. Most of the people present tonight had to carefully weigh them.

"There are so many cars. I only recognized the cars of a few people. Sister Chen, who else?"

Lin Shuimo looked curiously at the underground garage that looked like the most luxurious car show. in fine fettle, On the princess' birthday in the past, out of courtesy, Father had also participated, But at that time, his identity was outside the royal family, This time, however, he was participating as a member of the Royal Clan. The Lin Clan of Nine Continents City would also announce for the first time that they were standing on the Royal Clan's war chariot. This was an extremely important change. The Lin Clan of Nine Continents City, which had been on the decline for nearly 20 years, seemed to have completely bid farewell to the declining past from today onwards.

"A lot of people, All the political leaders of the royal family should participate, Even if I can't come, and will send a sufficient number of delegates, People from the southern faction will come, and the southwestern faction, The Lin Clan in the southwest, The heads of the empire's major groups, Whether the relationship is hostile or friendly, "Everyone will come to this kind of occasion. Therefore, this birthday banquet is completely different from Shui Mo's birthday banquet that you attended a few days ago. Although Lin Xiao chose the Yan Huang Club as the venue, it is actually not in the class. The person who appeared here today is the one who truly stands at the top of the Empire's power and wealth pyramid."

Chen Qingyu chuckled, "Also, I wonder who the representative of the imperial family is today. His Highness is His Majesty's younger brother and younger sister's birthday. Even if it is not convenient for him to come personally, every time, an absolutely important figure of the imperial family will appear. The year before yesterday was my aunt, and last year, His Highness the Empress personally participated. I wonder who it is."

"They're all big shots."

Lin Shuimo stuck out his tiny tongue with a delicate expression.

Today, she and Bai Yang wore white evening gowns. They walked the path of youth and purity. With Chen Qing and Yu Zhu in front of them, if they were still planning to move closer to maturity, they would immediately become green leaves. However, now that they had changed their attire, their auras instantly became complementary and their rate of return soared.

"What I'm most curious about is actually the representative of the royal family this year."

Chen Qingyu smiled softly and said, "In recent years, every person from the royal family who appeared at the princess' birthday banquet represented the Wang family's actions in the empire. The year before last, it was Aunt Tang Xin who appeared at the banquet. That year, the expansion of the royal family in the empire's business community could be described as crazy." The year before last, it was my aunt. That year, the royal clan took the initiative to provoke several political games, and the results were quite fruitful. Last year, It was Her Highness the Empress who kissed him, That year, Shu Hua's father had completely established his position as the leader of the underworld in the three provinces in the northeast of the empire, Therefore, for the upper echelons of the Divine Continent Empire , the birthday of the Princess next to him was the weathervane for all the actions of the royal family in the next year. As long as one knew who the representative of the royal family was in this year, one could vaguely judge what the royal family would do in the next year.

"Is the royal family returning to the empire?!"

Bai Yang was shocked. If the royal family that left the empire twenty years ago were to return, It was undoubtedly an earthquake, Politics, business, The underworld had to undergo a new round of shuffling, That would be a real bloody storm of saber-light and sword-shadows, Intense and cruel, Poplar wasn't surprised that the royal family would return. But I never thought it would be so fast, Many people would never have thought that, Everyone believed that the imperial clan would return to the empire in two years. Boss Ye, who was in the royal clan, had succeeded in taking over and successfully ascended to the top. Deputy Prime Minister Chen had entered the cabinet to completely stabilize the situation. However, it seemed that the royal clan was moving faster and faster, and it was very likely that they would start moving five to six years earlier.

"It depends on who the representative of the royal family is tonight."

Chen Qingyu sighed softly, but her eyes were filled with seriousness.

"Nonsense."

Lin Xiaocao suddenly said.

"Huh?"

The three great beauties immediately focused their attention on Lin Xiaocao . This super strong bodyguard followed Lin Shuimo most of the time, not saying a single word without any sense of existence. However, once she spoke or acted, she would always attract everyone's attention.

"The royal family 's behavior is mainly probing, The second was the silent layout, "The Emperor will definitely be unwilling to let them leave the empire for twenty years. However, in the first ten years or more, the Emperor you mentioned has no time to worry about the empire's situation. He is busy dealing with the various chaebol in Europe and the United States. It is not easy at all. That is why the southwest faction successfully suppressed the royal lineage that was at its peak at that time."

"The current royal family can be compared to Rothschild, Beside Bourbon, Morgan and Rockefeller, Nor did he rely on his foundation and the chaebol, It was a madness and a powerful weapon that could barely stand on its feet, "But generally speaking, the situation of the royal family is not good, because they have no way to retreat. The relationship between the emperor and the supreme leader is too rigid. For the past 20 years, they have been unable to establish a tacit understanding and connection with the empire. Therefore, they can only go all out to buy all kinds of advanced weapons and maintain sufficient deterrence to prevent the various chaebol from acting recklessly."

"But in fact, The more the Emperor acted like this, the less likely the supreme leader is to establish contact with him, Up until now, the parties had only managed to maintain a barely balanced balance, But the balance is too delicate, if the big chaebol make up their minds, Or perhaps the supreme leader gritted his teeth and said, He attacked the royal family regardless of the price, If the entire nation were to deal with the royal family, The fate of the royal family could only be complete destruction, It was even more miserable than decades ago, but the problem now was that no one was willing to pay such a heavy price. The deterrent power of the advanced weapons of the royal family was too great, so all sides were stuck in a stalemate. The Emperor was now unable to get down from the tiger ride. He had walked on steel wire for more than 20 years, and now he could only choose to endure it head on. "Actually, he wants to return to the empire more than anyone else and establish a connection with the empire. This way, he will have a stable rear area, where he can attack and retreat, and he can stand in an invincible position. Only a royal family like that can truly stand on an equal footing with a super consortium like Rothschild."

"But it is impossible for the supreme leader to accept him, At least not during his term of office, so the royal family is currently facing a huge crisis. These two years are the key and the best time to eliminate the royal family. Once he survives, when Deputy Head Ye and Deputy Prime Minister Chen ascend to the throne, the royal family will be completely glorious. If they cannot survive, then there will be no surviving chickens or dogs, and they will never recover. So in these two years, The Emperor's nerves would definitely tighten. Staring fixedly at any opponent, Returning to the empire, He wanted to, but he wouldn't act rashly, They could only be laid out slowly, "We should maximize the influence of the royal family in the empire and prepare to return to the Heavenly Kingdom in two years. As for this birthday party, it may be seen as a weathervane for all the actions of the royal family in the next year, but it cannot be said to be absolute. Even if the emperor personally appears here tonight, the royal family will not be able to return to the empire within a year."

Lin Xiaocao 's tone was unhurried and unhurried. This was almost the first time he had spoken so much in front of a few women. His tone was very calm, but many of his analyses and comments could be said to be bloody. He directly pointed out the current situation of the royal family.

"How … how did you know?"

The three women were stunned. After a long time, Bai Yang stammered. This was definitely not what a bodyguard should have. Although she knew that there was something wrong with the bodyguard beside Lin Shuimo who could defeat Yang Wuwei, she never thought that Lin Xiaocao would know so much about the royal family.

"I used to be an assassin. The situation of the royal family is not a secret in the Dark World. The Emperor does not deny this. Do I know that this is very strange?"

Lin Xiaocao looked at Poplar and said casually.

"Dark World?"

This time, the three women keenly captured a word that they didn't often hear and spoke in unison.

"A place you can't reach, After Shui Mo's sister Lin Danqing officially became a member of the Gale, The scope of work was the Dark World. It was an environment that ordinary people could not imagine. The agents, spies, killers, mercenaries, and gangsters of various countries mixed together and fought for their own interests. Conspiracies and slaughter, death and betrayal were the dark side that was far away from all ordinary people. It was cruel, simple, and very real. "

Lin Xiaocao said calmly, "The imperial clan is the largest clan force in the Dark World. This is also the result of the Emperor's excessive and even crazy pursuit of martial power for more than 20 years."

"Isn't this a good result?"

Chen Qingyu couldn't help but ask. The Chen Clan and the Wang Clan were now completely one and the same clan. Of course, she had reason to care.

"We can't say it's bad, but we can't say it's good either. It's very difficult to choose, or the Emperor has no choice at all."

Lin Xiaocao thought for a while and shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Qingyu unconsciously slowed down and walked side by side with Lin Xiaocao .

"Overly pursuing martial power will definitely cause the Divine Continent Empire to be afraid of it and establish a connection with it. However, if we do not pursue it, the Wang Clan, which lacks both financial resources and resources, will be completely devoured by others on the royal island. Its own strength is a must."

Lin Xiaocao said softly.

Chen Qingyu turned around and looked at his side face. She was a little distracted. She liked or admired Lin Xiaocao very much. She was not as silent as a bodyguard, nor was she as arrogant, calm, and confident as she was when she attacked.

"If you were the emperor, what would you do?"

Chen Qingyu subconsciously asked a question that she herself felt was inexplicable after saying it.

Lin Xiaocao was slightly stunned. He did not answer for a moment. He thought carefully for about two to three minutes before slowly saying, "There is no other way. I can't do it better than him, or even worse than him." At present, the royal family only had two choices. One was to continue to study high-end weapons, frantically expand their military strength, and after they had the capital to completely cripple and cripple a country, they would be able to establish a country on their own. More than 70,000 square kilometers of land belonged to the royal family, which was equivalent to a very large province of the Divine Boat Empire. It was no longer small. At the very least, it was enough to establish a country. The second option was to return to the Divine Boat Empire after the Great Change. The imperial island would become an independent autonomous region with one country, two systems. However, it had to be different from Gambling City and the Governor of Hong Kong, demanding a high degree of autonomy. But no matter what, the royal family will have to survive the last and most dangerous two years. "

"Actually, His Majesty the Emperor is not easy. Even at his level, he still has to struggle to survive."

Lin Shuimo sighed softly.

Lin Xiaocao remained silent.

"The word'survival 'only applies to two kinds of people, the best and the worst. Or rather, the highest and lowest. Ordinary people don't need to think about survival, they just need to think about how to live a better life."

Chen Qingyu smiled self-deprecatingly. Suddenly, she noticed that Lin Xiaocao 's gaze seemed to be staring at Poplar's buttocks wrapped in the evening gown. She felt an uncontrollable anger in her heart. She reached out and fiercely pinched Poplar's arm.
